Lay Some Flowers On My Grave Lyrics - Singles - Blind Willie Mctell

You must lay some flowers on my grave 

You must lay some flowers on my grave 

My mother and father have gone 

Left me in this world alone 

You must lay some flowers on my grave 

My father was a roll sport and a gambler too 

And he loved makin' and just singin' the blues 

I hope my heart will change 

I don't want to die the same 

You must lay some flowers on my grave 

Put a wreath of flowers at my right side 

Then you'll know that McTell's satisfied 

Put a bouquet in my breast 

You know poor boy's gone to rest 

You must lay some flowers on my grave

Now when this old building is fallin' down 

Just lay me six feet in the cold, cold ground 

Wrap me up in the solid clay 

'Cause I come here to die one day 

Hot mama, lay some flowers on my grave 

What a moaning glory at my hidden feet 

Then you'll know that McTell's gone to sleep 

On my headboard write my name 

I leave 'em many girl's heart in pain 

Hot mama, lay some flowers on my grave 

Don't snatch the pillow from under my head 

Don't grieve and worry after the days I'm dead 

When I bid you this last goodbye 

Don't none of you women's cry 

You just lay some flowers on my grave

You'll know McTell's dead and gone 

Hot mama, lay some flowers on my grave
